1382 Orion and the Great Pyramid of Giza! (2/2)
”To our deaths!”
Everyone was united as the great calamity approached. The Prophet could see the courage in everyone's eyes, the strong determination to hold their ground, even if they died for it.
The Great Wall had existed for thousands of years. Even though it had started to collapse and was abandoned and forgotten by the people, its spirit remained the same after all these years. It remained standing firmly, after enduring the strongest wind and the fiercest beasts!
”It's time to show these creatures from Egypt the strongest defense of our country; we'll teach them what an unbreakable defense is!” the Prophet proclaimed.

A few stars were twinkling in the cold night sky above North Valley. Among them, a relatively bright star suddenly emitted an eerie light. The other stars suddenly dimmed when the light appeared, as if it had asserted dominance over the sky!
The eerie light had originated from a great land in the west. It was fired into the night sky from somewhere in the southern lands of the Mediterranean Sea. The light connected with the stars of Orion in the east before descending perpendicularly to North Valley, in the territory of China!
Two eerie lights running across the horizon soon appeared, covering a greater area than the first light. It was impossible to see their ends with just a single glance.
As the lights from the stars and across the horizon intertwined, the center of the land called the Squaretrek Plain seemed to be transferred to another plane. The whole valley was encapsulated by an eerie glow, and an aura that did not belong to the mundane world!
Loud metallic clanks were audible. The thick chains initially lying still on the ground suddenly rattled and tightened, like they were being pulled with great force. They started moving in twelve different angles to the south!
The ends of the chains connected under the light Orion was emitting, at the center point where the rays met. A rift covering all the angles had appeared. The chains now extended into the rift. Despite the enormous force the chains were exerting, the object being dragged out of the rift was still extremely heavy. It slowly revealed its golden tip!
It was a kind of golden rock, revealing a mysterious luster when the eerie, ghostly light shone upon it. The rocks were massive, each of them weighing several tons. The revealed tip already consisted of around a hundred rocks. The ground sank as soon as the rocks made contact with it!
The yellow valley and the solid ground sank a few meters deep before they could withhold the enormous object's weight. As a matter of fact, the deeper layers and the crust further away had begun to crack!
As the Underworld Monarch Frogs slowly pulled the golden structure out from the rift, the ground within a few dozen kilometers across the valley fissured. If anyone looked down from high above, they would see the whole land was now filled with cracks. The longest one was around eight kilometers long, with a depth of over four hundred meters!
The valley was instantly shattered beyond recognition, yet the Great Pyramid of Giza had yet to reveal half of its size. The valley continued to collapse and split apart!
The twelve Underworld Monarch Frogs cried out furiously, ordering the Yoked to keep marching recklessly.
Almost thirty thousand of the Yoked were advancing barefoot further into the distance. They were using all their might to pull the Underworld Monarch Frogs, who were hauling the magnificent pyramid behind them. They did not dare to slow down, even though they were worn out. The Underworld Monarch Frogs were devouring the Yoked at a significantly higher rate. They were even devouring the Yoked that were moving slightly slower than the rest, let alone those that had fallen to the ground because they could not move anymore!
The Underworld Monarch Frogs had a greater master behind them, so they had to show their competence!
Painful cries filled the sky above North Valley. They were the voices of the Yoked. They would let out a cry every time they took a step forward together. They had to synchronize their timing to drag the heavy Great Pyramid of Giza out from the rift!
The people far away could hear their cries, and their hearts were suddenly brimming with fear. They could already sense the brutality and pressure lingering in the air, strong enough to make living humans suffocate and tremble in fear, and leave the dead in agony and hatred. Whatever emotion it brought to the people, they did not have the slightest ability to resist it...
Everything would submit to the pyramid!

”HAHAHA! Wonderful, this is wonderful!”
A burst of crazy laughter rose from the top of a rocky mountain. It was from a teenage boy with purple eyes, clad in a huge red robe embroidered with human faces writhing in pain. The boy was like a passionate believer of the pyramid. He was completely letting his emotions run wild as he received the magnificent structure's arrival. The air was filled with the smell of death from the Underworld, but it was as soothing as sunlight for him. He was about to ascend to paradise amid it!
Down the slope behind the teenage boy were a large group of people in blue outfits, kneeling and digging their faces into the dust on the ground. They were repeating the same chants proclaiming their faith, yet they were not allowed to lift their gazes, not even to see the ankles of their Red Cardinal!
These people were passionate too, and kept on worshiping non-stop, as if they could ascend together with their master in the red outfit.
But then again, what else could be impossible?
If the Great Pyramid of Giza in front of them was already real, why couldn't the Kingdom of Death and eternal life with superior status over others be real, too?
